Summary

The UK will be getting a new prime minister on July 20. And many challenges await Andy Burnham. He will be faced with a tepid economy, high government borrowing costs, and irregular migrants arriving in small boats that have fuelled support for Reform. In his address to the Labour party, he has vowed to boost the construction of public housing to try to resolve the homelessness crisis, and pump resources into social care. FRANCE 24's Rochelle Ferguson-Bouyahi looks at what awaits the incoming UK prime minister.
